FOLK ON THE DOCK is back for its third year, and once again Liverpool Acoustic will be taking part.
This year we’ll be back at the Royal Albert Dock bringing you music across all three days of the festival, from Saturday 25th to Sunday 27th August 2018.
You can find us in the same location as last year, at the top of the steps to the Dr. Martin Luther King Jnr Building – You know… the one with the big columns… on the corner… opposite The Pumphouse… used to be Granada Television… Yes, that’s the one! And if it’s raining we’ll be inside!
On Saturday, Sunday and Monday between 1.00pm and 5.30pm we’ll have a full programme of music from some of the best local and national musicians performing folk, Americana, singer-songwriter and roots music – the music we all love.
The stage will be hosted by Graham Holland, Derek King and Stuart Todd.
